The undergraduate research participation project in the UNLV Physics Department will be continued during the summers of 1996-1998. The research efforts are in the areas of atomic, molecular and optical physics, astronomy/astrophysics, and condensed matter physics. Students will have the opportunity to obtain hands-on laboratory experience using lasers, to analyze astronomical data on workstations using image analysis software, and to perform numerical computation and simulation using the UNLV computer facilities. This proposal builds upon the successful experience of the past four years as a REU site, in which undergraduates have engaged in research in the department. Students will be recruited from UNLV undergraduates and from other colleges and universities, with special attention paid to selected schools in the West and Mid-West. Applicants from institutions where research opportunities are limited will be given higher priority over those from major research universities.

1996-1998年夏季，将继续在拉斯维加斯大学物理系进行本科生研究参与项目。研究领域包括原子、分子和光学物理、天文学/天体物理学和凝聚态物理。学生将有机会获得使用激光的动手实验室经验，使用图像分析软件在工作站上分析天文数据，并使用UNLV计算机设施进行数值计算和模拟。这个建议建立在过去四年作为REU网站的成功经验之上，本科生在该系从事研究。学生将从拉斯维加斯大学的本科生和其他学院和大学中招募，并特别关注西部和中西部的选定学校。来自研究机会有限的机构的申请人将优先于来自主要研究型大学的申请人。
